Keystone Heights, FL & Clay county FL

Good morning everyone, looking for some help or input. My family and I currently live in Saint Petersburg, FL and looking to move to a different region of Florida. Looking to live on a lake with more land out of the busy city to raise our family. I recently began looking at places near Keystone Heights, FL and found some waterfront homes that we really like, and reasonable prices. However with more research, it seems like there is a real crisis and the water and lakes are "disappearing." Is this a real threat with the areas around Geneva lakes? Is anyone more familiar with this? Is this a cyclical thing that should/will be resolved? May be a good time to get a deal or get fleeced trying to buy "water front" property as an out of towner. Would love to hear from some locals if possible on the "save the lakes" as well as a possible relator as to how the market is and if there are deals to be had. Please let me know if anyone has questions or input. This will be an area for raising a family, not investment. Thanks to everyone for even reading this.

Hi Zachary— I live in Clay county. I’m generally familiar with Keystone and this lake issue, but I don’t know enough to be confident. I’m going to reach out to a friend who lives in that area and see if he has better insight. I’ll let you know if I find out anything!
